virtio-9p: Security model for create/open2

In the mapped security model, VirtFS server intercepts and maps
the file object create and get/set attribute requests. Files on the fileserver
will be created with VirtFS servers (QEMU) user credentials and the
client-users credentials are stored in extended attributes. On the request
to get attributes, server extracts the client-users credentials
from extended attributes and sends them to the client.
